Bet365 were incredibly generous towards us last season and we could only hope that they would continue in the same vein this term. It therefore gives me great pleasure to announce that the £50.00 Bet365 in play offer is back! Place a pre-match bet on Manchester City v Chelsea and Bet365 will give us a risk-free in-play bet to the same stake (up to a maximum of £50.00) on the big match. These Bet365 in play offers are the best around as there are big profits to be made. We can make a guaranteed minimum profit of £31.27 on this offer and here’s how…
Our in-play bet will be risk-free. This means that we are required to place the in-play bet using our own funds and if this in-play bet loses, Bet365 will refund it in full in cash (which is withdrawable straight away). It is worth noting that although the current odds for the draw (at the time of writing) are 3.50, this will usually drop slightly when the game kicks off and therefore I have adjusted the odds accordingly in the workings for the following example…
Place £57.14 (pre-match) on Manchester City @ 2.10 = Returns £119.99
Place £50.00 (in-play) on a draw @ 3.40 = Returns £170.00
Place £31.58 (pre-match) on Chelsea @ 3.80 = Returns £120.00
I’d like to add at this point that it’s always best to stick to round numbers when placing your bets as odd amounts such as £57.17 can easily be flagged up as a matched bet. You could instead place £50.00 on Manchester City with Bet365 and then place the extra £7.00 on Manchester City with another bookmaker, especially if you can get better odds elsewhere. Similarly, with the BetVictor bet, I would stick to round numbers and place £32.00 instead.
Just to let you know, there are some other great offers being run by other bookies on this match, so we might want to think about placing our Chelsea bet with them…
- Paddy Power – Get 2 x £5.00 free bets to be used in play!
- BetVictor – Place via mobile and we’ll get a £5.00 free bet.
- ComeOn – If Chelsea win, we’ll get a £5.00 bonus for every goal scored in the game.
- Unibet – If a penalty is awarded, we’ll get a refund on losing stakes as a free bet.
Let’s have a look at our profit/loss for the three potential outcomes…
| Outcome | Returns | Total Outlay | Overall Profit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Man City win | 119.99 + 50.00 (refund) = 169.99 | 138.72 | £31.27 |
| Draw | 170.00 | 138.72 | £31.28 |
| Chelsea win | 120.00 + 50.00 (refund) = 170.00 | 138.72 | £31.28 |
As you can see, no matter what the result of the game, we stand to make a guaranteed minimum profit of £31.27 on this Bet365 in play offer! How long did that take? 10 minutes?
If the odds change between now and kick-off, which is almost a certainty, it’s really easy to recalculate your pre-match stakes.
Start by working out your returns on the in play draw bet. So if the draw odds have changed to 3.60, your returns on the draw would now be £180.00.
To work out your stakes on Manchester City and Chelsea, you need to subtract the £50.00 refund from the £180.00 which gives you £130.00. All you then have to do is divide the £130.00 by the odds (in decimal form) for both Manchester City and Chelsea to get your respective pre-match stakes. Any problems, just give me a shout!
